There was a post on social media over the winter with a pic of a restored or reimagined mask. But I don't think it was said they would return to the original spots , but would be very easy to conjecture that they would.

I had to go get me two shirts today and watch the show. So love that show!!

They can tell people and have signs saying that the restraint will lower on its own, but people are used to lowering their own restraint so they’re going to do that due to muscle memory. They should have accounted for this. If pulling on it caused a fault then that’s a huge design flaw that should have been addressed many iterations ago.

Will my dining plan work for Buc-ees?

#bringbackclubblood Also me avoiding one word posts

They were being painted iirc

Have the masks been put back on Adventure Express' first lift hill? Or are they still being worked on

update to my impressions. I really appreciate the amount of work. but i definitely wish it were feasible to get on-board audio or many many speakers at the mid-ride dialogue spots. Yesterday I got to hear a couple sentences and imagining if I couldve heard everything, it made it feel akin to the universal adventures feels like a lot of effort went into the dialogue and you cant always hear it depending on where you get told to sit & sometimes you dont hear it at all. However! despite that one tomb guy not pumping his arms for the past month.. I was able to find at least 2 spikes that actually came out and retracted. - and no.. I'm not expecting on-board audio. Just wishing it were in the cards or easier to pull off

^^Zierer was contracted by Schwarzkopf during one of their bankruptcies to build their rides in the 80s.

Always sad to hear but I don't know that this is something impossible to happen in the US. Don't know much about this but it looks pretty good from the Youtube videos. Built by Zierer but designed by Schwarzkopf and Stengel?

Smitty Werben Man Jensen?

That is a maintenance road and is traveled frequently by maint going to/from Bat, Skyflyer, Drop Tower, Invertigo, Congo, Timberwolf, the maint access road outside the park, etc. I wouldn't read too much into vehicle traffic on that road...

I didn’t see anyone in the station area. I think they were just driving around. I took another picture of the station just before the park closed last night:

Where should we be looking? And what does “We’re #1” mean?

Did you see anybody from maintenance in the station area by any chance? Or were they just driving around the area?

I can confirm that the former Blackout building will be housing the next new maze.

As of this evening, the lights are still on! There were also a few maintenance trucks going up and down the road.

Here is the Reuben from the Festhaus for those who haven't seen it yet: While it isn't going to give Izzy's any competition it is nice to have a dining plan item that is actually like something one would get at a Festhaus. Hopefully we see more like this in the future.

Have we been given any indication that they are coming back? I kind of assumed that they were gone for good

And you don't even need to fork over your debit card to pay a meal plan upcharge for this

I have watched cycles where a ride op literally walks with the person to the seat and tells them not to pull down the restraint and yet they still try despite the sign and being told as they are sitting down. Similar to how pushing too hard on the queue gates at coasters can trip a fault, I suspect as these restraints get worked in, there may be more give on the restraints to not trip a sensor or maybe they can adjust the sensitivity. And I am sure there are other reasons why the ride goes down, but in many instances maintenance is looking at the restraint of a seat.

been there 38 times but did not get taken by the Prestige pass. I sip on water in nice relaxing fresh smelling buildings for free.....

People gotta eat They already have your money Any sayings I'm missing lol

I found everything at The Emporium!

It was actually at Timberwolf last weekend (Saturday at least) during Spirit Song. Serving Mexican fare. Unfortunately, not on the dining plan.

Sorry, but we're cashless and cannot accept anything in your wallet. Please convert it into a prepaid card.

You do! My wife and I have two. And if I had to guess, we’ll end up with more due to their deliciousness.

Three side. Look! Only 1 portion cup… for a side that makes SENSE in a portion cup!

What percentage of KI's annual attendees do you think complain about the similarity? The overwhelming majority of guests don't think the way enthusiasts do, and thank goodness for that. The general public is much more inclined to see Orion and Diamondback as more or less the same than enthusiasts would. It's the enthusiasts/diehard fans who draw minor distinctions and obsess over every detail or statistic. Since the two coasters look and feel similar, they're going to be viewed as the same. I don't think this could be said of any other two coasters in the park. Definitely though the level of and visibility of complaints will be different largely because rides mean more personally to enthusiasts. An enthusiast will rant or rave. A general public guest will say "that could be better, oh well", or "that was pretty good."

Also, Soak City must be popular today as the KIMVRR had a line out to the midway in Rivertown.

The snakeskin background on the sign is great.

There weren't any masks on the lift as of Friday evening.

So assuming the food truck is a no go this year at the park......
